3. When a Camel Becomes a Symbol

In June 2024, in a village in southeastern Pakistan, a young camel named Cammie was brutally mutilated when a farmer cut off her front leg after she wandered into his field in search of food.

Rescued by an animal shelter in Karachi, Cammie was fitted with a prosthetic leg and is now learning to walk again.

Cammie is no longer just an injured animal — she’s become a symbol of resilience, healing, and hope.
